“ Savoury.”

Fiesta Mexicana A must visit Tucked away on the industrial strip of Notre Dame Drive, between Consignor Sports & Notre Dame Tire, you’ll find an unassuming entrance, marked with the Canadian & Mexican flags, that opens up to a unique venue offering up the most authentic taste of Mexico, right here in Kamloops!

Opening in early 2011, Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant turns what was meant to be an automotive service bay into to one of the “must visit” dining options in the area, so much so that when the Food Network’s show “You Gotta Eat Here!” heard about them, they agreed and featured the small, family–run cantina in February 2013.

Patrons rave about the quality of the food, described as being some of the best

28

Mexican dishes found between Calgary and Vancouver. One of the owner’s favourite compliments is hearing that their food was better than offered in the resorts when patrons return after vacation in Mexico.

Enjoy the more than 40 dishes on the menu, as well as a condensed lunch menu in a warm and inviting atmosphere, including a summer favourite — a private, Spanish–style courtyard patio. Book your next Christmas, staff or birthday party at Fiesta Mexicana!

D u f f y ’s P u b Duffy’s Neighbourhood Pub Since 1991 Duffy’s Pub has been committed to bringing you the finest quality available.

The staff prides themselves on serving up traditional home–style cooking with a bit of innovative ideas, from the freshly made to order fish and chips and made to order chicken strips, to the daily soups and sauces made from scratch.

Traditional dishes are infused with unique flavours. A diner favourite, the tequila lime chicken salad offers a fresh take on a basic dish and is the only of its kind in town.

At Duffy’s they are always reinventing the menu to include dishes that are unique.

30

Duffy’s chicken breasts and sirloin beef has never been frozen. French fries are cut daily, steaks are aged a minimum of thirty days and cut from the local butcher and they use only the finest lean ground sirloin beef in the burgers.

Duffy’s maintains a traditional pub culture that strives to build relationships rather than business. Visit for a beer, a bite, or both and enjoy the ambience of your friendly neighbourhood pub.
